The vast majority of Lottery Scam letters are actually form
letters. Only the Lottery numbers and contact information - not the
contact name - has been changed. Names, such as PETER LAMBERT,
are just made-up names and do not represent real people. The addresses are frequently mail drops,
the phone numbers belong to cell phones registered with phony information. Same
goes for the email addresses.

As many as 3 different people in
any one scam will pose as the same person. This means you may think you are
corresponding with only one person, but in reality the replies you
receive may be from any number of people in any one fraud ring.
It just depends on who has the duty that day.

The same is true of letters from
so-called attorneys, government representatives, or any of the many
official titles the con artists use to give you confidence.
Most of the replies are form letters as well, with the same replies being sent
to all the targets (potential victims) answering a "Peter Lambert" form letter.
For instance, the "Peter Lambert" form letter may be in use by several
different fraud rings, located in different
parts of the world.

* A form letter
is one where the same identical letter is sent to everyone on a mailing list, or
one that covers a particular situation and is ready-made to be sent to anyone
asking about that situation.
